Crafty Containers

A Free Crochet Pattern

Do you need a simple storage solution for your desk or shelves? This is a
very easy project that can be done in a short amount of time. It uses
an oatmeal container and some simple crocheting skills. They are sturdy
and once you are done you cannot tell that they used to take up space in
your pantry!

The Crafty Containers are another pattern that I am moving over from Crochetvolution. For this project I knew I wanted to make new samples and pictures. I chose bright colors in worsted cotton this time.

I still use these containers after 3 years, so it was time for an update. They sit at my sewing desk. The larger container is perfect for my Granny's old knitting needles. And the smaller container is perfect for hooks and loose notions.

Rounds 6-17 (or till you reach the top of the container): Ch 3; dc in each st around, sl st into beg dc. (40 dc) At the end of your last row, finish off.

Inner layer

With Color 2, repeat Rnds 1-17 of Outer Layer (do not finish off). Insert the
inner layer into the container and slip the outer layer over the
container. Match up your edges, and crochet the two layers together in
the next row.

Round 18: Ch 1, sc in the same st. Sc in each st around, sl st into beg sc. (40 sc)

About Me

I love to create! Most of the time that means crocheting, but l also knit and embroider, really anything that makes me think and use my hands I love to do. I started designing my own crochet patterns in 2009 but I did not start writing them down till about 2011. I had no idea that people would find my ideas interesting. I've recently started adding knitting patterns and embroidery tutorials to the blog also.
My Family and I live just south of Kansas City. My husband is a preacher at a local church. We have two Daughters that I often refer to as The Puzzle Queen and Sweet Pea.
I'm excited to share with you what I am working on and my thoughts on crafting.
